Publisher's Synopsis
A forbidden magic. A kingdom on the brink. And a woman born to command the bones of the dead.
Kaelyn Voss was cast out in chains, her name erased from the sacred halls of Vareth. Branded as a heretic for touching a magic older than the gods themselves, she learned to survive in exile by mastering what others feared: the secrets whispered through the bones of the long dead. Now, the realm that forsook her is crumbling. The divine voices that once guided kings have gone silent, and omens of ruin spill from the earth like blood. Summoned back by a royal summons steeped in desperation, Kaelyn returns not as a supplicant-but as a reckoning. Court intrigue coils like smoke. Desires simmer just beneath the surface. And amid the twisted games of nobles and priests, Kaelyn must uncover the truth behind the divine silence before war tears the realm apart. But some truths demand a price. And Kaelyn, bound by fate and haunted by a past she cannot bury, must choose between vengeance and salvation-between the man who tempts her fire and the gods who fear her power. Perfect for readers who crave shadow-drenched fantasy, intoxicating tension, and heroines who bend fate to their will.
